Passenger jet shot down - 298 dead.
Pray for Flight MH17
by Aussie
How safe the world today?
Modern planes - time gains Some took a needed holiday Surface to air missile - black rains. From all walks of life they came Families, newlyweds, children too No distinction, all casualties the same Man's inhumanity to man - so true. The skies are safe no more Innocent lives snuffed out Casualties of war Death and destruction, rebels tout. How safe the world today? Complacency rules the west Be safe - your only way What next? Bullet-proof vest? So much hate in the world today Religions teach love - some scorn Let us hold hands and pray Peace in our times - a new dawn. |
